"Old Qi is right. If our people enter the court, it will definitely be more helpful for us to control the Qin Dynasty." Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.
Before, they thought that this method of selecting talents was nothing special, but now they think it is a good opportunity for them to enter the court.
"Ahem, have you decided who you want to send to the court? You should have also seen the actual exam papers published by Huiwen Bookstore. Are there any of your people who are good at these questions?" One of them said with a guilty conscience.
Most of these people are private soldiers. Not many of them are educated, and most of them are rough people.
This person's words immediately made everyone around them quiet. Speaking of the real exam questions, even they had a headache.
Nowadays, the examinations are still concentrated in Xianyang, and many students have already rushed to Xianyang one after another.
They were still a little panicked about having to fight their way out among so many people.
Everyone around them looked insecure, and the old man at the head was discouraged again. Could such a mob really rebel against Qin? The old man was deeply skeptical.
A faint awkwardness filled the courtyard, and everyone didn't know what to say.
"Oh, forget it. It seems that the written test is unreliable. Why not send someone to infiltrate the new recruits?" The old man sighed.
"That's reliable. I have a very strong man under my command. He should be able to develop well in the army." Someone immediately agreed.
Finally there was another opportunity, and the group of people breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at these people, the old man shook his head helplessly. The development in the army is not as good as that in the court. They can help a lot in the court, and they can upgrade faster.
Looking at the silly smiles on the faces of these people, the old man felt so tired. He was afraid that they would never be able to accomplish their rebellion against Qin in this lifetime.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the existing map of Daqin. This map was not intuitive at all and was too primitive.
"My father is preparing to attack the Huns. We have no shortage of food and fodder, but war horses are still scarce. Also, the weapons we have now, and the production of iron and steel cannot equip the entire army." Zhao Qingrui sighed. They are currently facing many problems.
"As for the problem of war horses, there will definitely be no shortage of them after we pacify these tribes. As for weapons, some of them can use the previous weapons first, and as for the iron weapons, give them to the elites first." Ying Zheng was also at a loss. He had already recruited a large number of craftsmen, but there were not many people in the Qin Dynasty who had real forging skills.
Zhao Qingrui nodded. There were many tribes outside the Great Wall, and there were still many war horses available for plunder.
As long as we conquer these tribes, it will not be a big problem to conquer overseas in the future.
The main problem at present is war horses and armaments, not just weapons, but also armor. It is expensive and labor-intensive to build these things.
Moreover, she didn't know the distribution of the Qin Dynasty's iron mines, so she could only let them explore it themselves. The existing iron mines could not support the entire army.
"Your Majesty, how many troops are you going to mobilize from Lingnan? Lingnan still needs construction, so it is not advisable to mobilize too many. Shangjun also needs to build the Great Wall. The number of prisoners of war and criminals there is also the largest, so a large number of troops are needed to suppress them." Wang Ben's face was serious.
"How many troops can be mobilized?" Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben. No one could stop him from conquering.
"Lingnan can mobilize 300,000 troops, and at least 200,000 must be left to garrison Lingnan. Shangjun can only mobilize 100,000 troops. There are too many prisoners of war and criminals in Shangjun, so it is not advisable to mobilize too many troops." Wang Ben said seriously.
"The Huns only have 400,000 troops. They are good at guerrilla warfare. The Qin army does not have an advantage against the Huns." Ying Zheng frowned.
"Father, Prince Maodun of the Xiongnu has a unique talent in leading and commanding troops. He is more difficult to deal with than Chanyu Tuoman. It will not be easy for us to defeat the Xiongnu." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
Prince Maodun was the one she feared the most. According to the news sent back by Sui Shicong, Prince Maodun was now planning to kill his father. If he took the position of Chanyu, it would be even more difficult to defeat the Xiongnu.
"Does Prince Maodun really have such ability?" Wang Ben asked curiously.
"Well, he's a ruthless guy. I've heard some stories about him." Zhao Qingrui nodded and briefly explained what he knew.
After hearing what Zhao Qingrui said, even Ying Zheng fell silent.
"If this boy is not eliminated, he will be a great trouble." Ying Zheng sighed.
"Indeed, he can even order his own bedmate to be shot in order to make his men obey his orders. He is also planning to use this method to deal with Chanyu Touman. This kind of mentality shows the character of a hero." Wang Ben nodded in agreement.
"We can't let him grow up. We must attack the Huns as soon as possible. The one in charge of the Huns now is Chanyu Touman, not Prince Maodun. If he really becomes the Chanyu, it will be difficult to deal with him." Ying Zheng immediately decided to attack the Huns as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty is right. We cannot let him continue to grow." Wang Ben agreed. They must be crazy to want to cultivate a powerful enemy for themselves.
"Since we are going to war, the court must make arrangements as soon as possible." Ying Zheng muttered. After he left Xianyang, the affairs of the court's regent would need to be handed over to Zhao Qingrui.
When the time comes, let Fusu and Feng Quji assist her, and nothing will happen in the court.
"Qingrui, now that the Chancellery has been opened, I am ready to appoint a crown prince." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui seriously.
"So fast?" Zhao Qingrui frowned. As the Qin Dynasty prospered, the amount of memorials she needed to review every day was also increasing. After becoming the crown prince, everything she had to do would be completely different, and the workload would be even greater.
"Well, after conquering the Huns, the court needs people, and it will be more legitimate for you to become the crown prince." Ying Zheng pondered. He not only wanted to conquer those tribes, but also wanted to conquer overseas. The court needed people to take charge. In his mind, the best candidate was naturally Zhao Qingrui.
Zhao Qingrui: “…”
"Why don't you just give me the throne and go conquer the world without worry." Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly. She was going to sit on the throne of the prince so soon? Dad was a little too hasty.
Wang Ben, who was standing by, turned pale and wished he didn't exist. This princess was so bold that she even dared to say such words.
"It's not impossible. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Ying Zheng said domineeringly. He was afraid that Zhao Qingrui didn't have the courage. She was worthy of being his daughter. She was brave enough, just like him.
Wang Ben's eyes widened, and he cried out in his heart, "Is Your Majesty crazy? Giving me the throne right now? This is too outrageous!"
